"Mount & Blade" and "Crusader Kings" (with a visit to "Total War" between the two). With a design document heavily influenced by German Fechtbücher, a little taste of "Dark Souls" or "Die by the Sword" combat, and that slow-combat-down-to-make-choices-and-decisions mechanic from the GoT RPG.

Tactical mode of XCom, but the Strategic layer is more like FM, you can petition the council for things, you have to recruit and hire rookies, you have to work the relationships between the soldiers, manage their pay and benefits, keep the interceptors maintained... basically put decisions everywhere in the strategic layer, on the tactical layer there should be way more variables... did you tell your Assault to oil his gun before the mission? Did your sniper remember to target practice this week? Is your heavy depressed and needs to bring a friend?

Spore and Minecraft. Or Spore and Minecraft and Civilization and Space Rangers with an NWN style mission editor expansion. Spore was really ambitious and I want an improved Spore with gameplay in the hundreds of hours.

ever since i played Dark Souls i've always thought how sweet it would be if nintendo let the Dark Souls devs, From Softwars(i think thats who did it), have a crack at making a Zelda game. with the whole fighting mechanics and the dark theme, and the dungeons and puzzles and open-world of zelda(i know Dark Souls is kind of an open world). it'd be fantastic.

WoW + DAoC PvP. (At some point I will give GW2 a try time permitting, which seems the closest thing)

Mount and Blade/Total War + Gratuitous Space Battle.. You start the battle from the commander perspective, setting the general strategy and plan for the battle. Then you play it out Mount and Blade style.

I would buy into a Splinter Cell + GTA. Do Miami. Plays out like you are Michael of Burn Notice. Win!

Easy. Skyrim x The Witcher 2. A huge open world to adventure in with a massive amount of content, but with the attention to detail, depth and story of CD Projekt. Combat would come from the Witcher too, but with a larger amount of customization and item slots & spells.
